Hi Ryan, Thanks for taking the initiative. Here's a rough draft I have created. I would like it to be looked over by some more experienced member of this community before your critique. Please feel free to make grammatical changes. I will also add a screenshot for each of the sub-headings. ***** Fedora 23 KDE Plasma Desktop brings you the best and the latest of Fedora and KDE Plasma Desktop. KDE Plasma Desktop is a modern and a familiar desktop environment for your everyday computing needs. Fedora 23 KDE Plasma Desktop features Plasma 5.4.0, KDE Frameworks 5.15, and KDE Applications 15.08. Plasma 5.4 includes a new audio applet, Application Dashboard, updated breeze icon theme, KRunner auto-completion, Networks applet with graphs. Notable changes in KDE Applications 15.08 are KF5 based Kontact suite app and file manager Dolphin. Firefox is now the default web browser. *New Audio Volume Applet* Plasma 5.4 contains a new and improved audio applet. The design is based on Breeze theme which brings even more consistency to the system tray. It works directly with PulseAudio. Puvcontrol users will find it familiar to use. *Application Dashboard* Application Dashboard is an innovative and a contextual app launcher. The full screen app launcher features full spatial keyboard navigation. There are three main columns - favorites, recent apps, and categories. Any app or document or contact can be added to your favorites. It's now much easier to open that work document or contact a family member. *Breeze Icon Theme* Breeze icon theme in Plasma 5.4 packs 1400 new icons which not only covers KDE apps but brings improved and native looks to Inkscape, Firefox, LibreOffice, etc. *KRunner* KRunner can now auto-complete your searches from history as you type. *Networks Applet* Networks applet in Plasma 5.4 shows speed graph and connection details.
